Anti-vaccination groups are gaining political influence as states like Florida move to eliminate vaccine requirements for children. The movement, connected to the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) campaign, has found new support among some mothers who believe vaccines cause more harm than good.
Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced this week that the state will work to eliminate all vaccine mandates, making it the first in the nation to do so if successful. The move has drawn strong criticism from public health experts who warn about the potential consequences of reduced vaccination rates.
